To Boulder!

Well the Half has been run and won. I was estatic to find out i had broken the course record by 25mins! I had a killer bike. The swim was pretty good, concidering i wasn’t sitting on- it was all me. The run was actually a bit of a disaster because i was cramping in my quads the whole time but i trucked on and actually managed a reasonable time on that particular course. I am very happy with how well our training has prepared us. We are off to Boulder now in the big Dodge Caravan we bought for $500! It is rock solid with a V6 engine, very powerful and ensures that we don’t get dropped on the climbs. Unfortunately the first car we bought, a Subaru loyal pretty much blew up on us 4 times, so we decided not to use it last minute and bought this. Money well spent on the dodge. Its also cool because we figured out too that you can drive it without the key! Ha. You just start it up by twisting the key hole. Pretty cool- especially if you tend to loose keys. So we are half way through our trip- staying in a cheap hotel we booked on hotwire in Salt Lake City.
